Well, I preferred theorist and ideologist, because it is likely that such ideas would have found as well other men to put them into practise.
In my opinion, Russian Revolution would have taken place without Lenin too. There were other important leaders, for example Trotsky, who is said to have been potentially more terrible than Stalin himself. In fact, having just ten places, it was difficult to choose.
If I were permitted to choose 11-20 position, I'd say:
Alexander the Great, Attila, Francesco d'Assisi, Domingo de Guzman, Ignatius of Loyola, Louis XIV, Peter the Great, Lenin, Stalin, Churchill.
